the passon 5 speed might be $5-6k or what ever it is but that is basically all you have to buy and maybe a clutch disc. if you go buy a tremec you need a cross member, drive shaft and yoke, bell housing, clutch linkage might change, a clutch, which all adds up and after all that you have trial and error making sure everything fits and driveline angles are correct. passon 5 speed is a true bolt in deal that can be done on a Saturday morning and out cruising by lunch time and keep your stock floor pans.. just my 2 cents

Yes but try getting your hands on one before you end up in the old folks home!

Have you priced getting one of those Passon 5 speeds to Canada...

Parts might be available, but say in a few years the transmissions start failing ,the place goes out of business, or something happens to the owner.....you might wish you cut the floor.

Thats another reason I went with the T-56 Magnum. I’ve heard they’re some people thats already had problems with the 855 jumping out of gear and stuff.

Through the years I have purchased some cottage industry motorcycles, after a few years you can’t get parts for them and the builders always go on to other things or close shop. In the end you end up with a nice 10 grand piece of garage art when it breaks .... But I’m not willing to spend $7500 Canadian on transmission that could end up being garage art in a few years. In my opinion they should have sold the design of the transmission years ago to a larger vendor who could have produced 1000s of them every year....so I agree you made the right choice in a t56

I need to call Tremec tomorrow to verify the availablity of the 2.97 1st, 0.63 6th TUET16885 and TUET16884 versions. The part numbers have been released but as for actual transmissions being shipped out, I'm not 100% sure. Even if they are not available yet the wait shouldn't be that long.

An alternative would be the Magnum XL which has the extended tail section and may be a better shifter placement on some Mopars.

Yes the TUET11010 is designed for mech. clutch.Per Tremec:"GM-types (left) are modeled after the 1998-2002 F-car T-56, and Ford-types (right) follow the formula from the 2003-2004 Cobra (minus the factory 10-spline input shaft). What this means is that the Magnum will interface with nearly any stock or aftermarket bellhousing and many clutch systems intended for those applications."

There are 7 different Quicktime bellhousings for T56 to Mopar applications. RM-6076 is for Small Mopar to Ford T56 height = 5.525 driver side starterRM-6077 is for Big Mopar to Ford T56 height = 5.525RM-8078 is for Gen3 Hemi to Ford T56 height = 5.525 passenger side starter.Fast Fact: Russ McCombs was the founder of Quick Time bellhousings & why all the part numbers start with "RM".

67autocross: Good find on the $4200 Canadian price! I would be able to sell the regular T56 Magnum for roughly $300 Canadian less but would have to deal with the hassle of shipping over the border.

As for the TUET16885 and TUET16884 part numbers, bad news is Tremec says that no transmissions have been shipped out yet with no definite time table as of now. No dealer has them yet but a bunch of customers have been asking for them. Tremec says they will have an official announcement of the release date for the part numbers above.

Good news is that the 0.80 5th gear TUEN7118 & TUEE60450.63 6th gear TUEN7119 & TUEE6046are available now to swap into a TUET11011 or TUET11012 if one were so inclined.

The 0.80 and 0.63 gears have way more demand than the 0.74 and 0.50 gears and are acutally able to hold up to a little more torque.

Im using the RM-8073 for my 440 of course. What is the recommended starter for it? I’m using a mre 644 from Mancinis and it doesn’t fit correct, likes it’s a smudge to big. I had to grind just a tad off of the block just to get it to bolt on and it’s still touching the block a hair.

This 6 speed that is supposed to be the last word in overdrive transmissions is not the holy grail. Your grail is for hot rods and requires skill and fabrication and most of all $$$$ to install. It is not for the person with the 4 speed mopar car that want his cake and eat it too. That's called a "bolt in" 5 speed by Passon.

What does the "skill and fabrication" cost.

Not everyone is a fabricator so you have to pay.

Then there is the rest of the story with all the other "stuff" and labor required to complete the job 100%. What does that cost?

Show me the money on the bottom line

The Passon 5 speed is a home run for those of us that do not want to reinvent the wheel when wanting overdrive without complications. It's very ideal for 4.10s if you do the math.

Transmissions are shipped weekly and the demand has not waned. There are many factors involved in trying to bring a product like this to fruition so the remarks that have been posted are juvenile at best. If there were any issues of one of Passon's transmissions Jamie has taken care of it - so posting hearsay like has been done is just rude and uncalled for.

Don't forget Dayclona is a paid spokesperson for the holy grail six speeds.

Geez...last time you ran your dribble I was the paid spokesman for Keisler, now it's 6 speeds?...

I'm still waiting to get paid for my "endorsements"..lol!

let's face it, 6 spds are where's it at for the consumer that wants a better performance upgrade, Passon's 5 spd while probably a great product is a decade too late in the making as well as late to the game with customers still waiting YEARS for a purchase, for the dedicated enthusiast cost is secondary to the modifications one needs to make regarding a 6 spd install, or installing the "other" mfg's 5 spds on the market, besides the fact they want to drive their car now, rather than years from now when the other offering gets around to checking off their intergalactic decade old back order waiting list to produce a transmission for purchase or developing their application... personally I don't care what an individual does to their vehicle, but if I can assist them with knowledge or personal experience learned I will, just like other's here do...which unfortunately you have always seemed incapable of?

I'm surprised your still here seeing you bailed out of the hobby sometime ago and upped and sold your junk?..."but hey trolls be trolling" I guess?...
